Behind the layout
Claudio Sartor’s 210-litre display celebrates the scale and colour of a densely planted underwater landscape. Ferns, mosses and compact foliage sit alongside taller stems, with red plants providing bright accents among the greens.
Use the planting plan to explore how the many plant groups fit together. The contrast between leaf shapes and colours is a useful starting point when planning your own display.
